Can 'they' get away with this?
There have been Mac-like desktop environments for Linux for many years
(never understood the attraction myself; I love OS X but only on a
Mac, when I'm using Linux I want to use Linux).
MacBuntu is one of the more popular ones, noteworthy for being both a
blatant rip-off of Apple's UI and also thumbing their nose the request
from Canonical to reserve names ending in "buntu" for
officially-support forks:
<http://gnome-look.org/content/show.php/Macbuntu?content=129021>
But historically the number of people using such DEs has been
negligibly small.
While this would increase the number of people using a Mac-like UI on
Linux, it's North Korea: if we're to believe the Western propaganda
about their lifestyle, relatively few there have a computer at all, so
at most it might double the number of such users.
Moreover, it's a rogue state beyond the influence of any international
partners or laws. Not even China's Xi Jinping can talk sense to Kim
Jong-un; I doubt Tim Cook could.
Looks like Apple have to rely on Dennis Rodman to settle this. :)
I suspect this problem, and a whole lot more important ones, will be
settled by South Korea in due course.
